The old Dairy is far more spacious than the photographs show.
The old Dairy is far more spacious than the photographs show. The small patio is very private with a wonderful view Westward and beautiful sunsets across the fields. The welcome hamper is very practical and thoughtful, as were the on site fresh chicken and duck eggs provided in the kitchen. Even a little hamper for our Lulu woof.A really comfy bed and plenty of space. The location is very quiet and rural. Very clean and well laid out with everything you require. The hosts are very polite and on hand if needed but not intrusive.Would very highly recommend for truly getting away from it all and relaxing.

A lovely little home from home, nice welcome packs for us and the dogs.
A lovely little home from home, nice welcome packs for us and the dogs. Very rural so need to drive to anything, but also makes it a perfect retreat to get away from it all and watch the wild life.A smart TV would be nice so you can watch Netflix or the like, but a selection of DVDs is there, which was good. A dressing table to sit at and do hair and make-up would make a welcome addition. Plenty of very good dog freindly pubs a short drive away and lots of things to do in Suffolk and Norfolk. Overall it is fantastic, will go again.

If your looking for a rural property that is spacious and lovely and quiet then I highly recommend The Dairy. Beautifully presented and very well equipped. Adjacent to the owners property but not joined. Dog friendly too with your own enclosed patio area overlooking crop fields. Owners are nice and friendly but not intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for 4 days and hope to return in the not too distant future. 1 very small thing but not a major problem no dressing table in the bedroom so you have to stand to get ready/dry hair etc.
